Flemington racing tips
—
Looking to improve on a fresh up eighth is Mary Eliza, who won second up last preparation at Mornington.
The four-year-old mare by Super Seth owns two wins and two placings from six starts, and she should love running at Flemington for the first time.
If Blake Shinn finds cover from out wide, she could power past them late.
Stake: 1.5 Units
Class is with Statuario, who is fitter now after three runs this preparation, and he should appreciate running in this company.
The four-year-old son of D’argento ran fifth behind Wootten Verni last time out, who has since won again in Sydney.
It’s top form, and getting 2kg off his back is ideal.
Stake: 2.5 Units
We are giving Verona Rose another chance following a fourth at Randwick behind Idle Flyer.
That form should be tidy for this race, despite Idle Flyer not firing on Saturday at Flemington, and this is a much easier contest.
Having Craig Williams riding helps, and she could score an overdue win.
Stake: 2 Units
Zambardo keeps winning after making it four on the bounce at Caulfield last start, and he could have a bright staying future.
The four-year-old son of Belardo got the better of Makdane by 1.3 lengths, and that form could be franked on Cup Day.
Getting in with 54kg is a steal, so we’re confident with this pick.
Stake: 2.5 Units
It was a big run from Enxuto on Saturday when flashing home for third behind Warnie, and he didn’t get the best of luck.
That’s consecutive runs where luck would have taken him close, and connections want a win on the board this Thursday.
It won’t be an easy race, but getting 54kg on his back is enough to take him close.
Stake: 2 Units
It was good to see Ruakaka Raider getting back to winning form at Geelong, and that could spark him back to life.
He showed good ability last year before going off the boil a touch but seeing him come from behind the pace last start is a good sign.
He’s back, and the spring could be his time to shine.
Stake: 1.5 Units
Point Barrow could be a smart sprinter in the making after flying home to beat a similar field at Caulfield.
Her turn-of-foot is better than most, and don’t be put off by the wide draw, which is an ideal place to be at a wet Flemington.
She will get back in the run and put on the afterburners.
Stake: 3 Units
Race 8. (17:10) Crown Oaks (2500m) – GROUP 1
Read our full Crown Oaks preview here – including best bets, trifecta and first four picks!
There are many winning chances in the last race, but we’ve settled on Trembles at the odds.
She was good when running second behind Stokke, and although rising to stakes company isn’t easy, she knows where the line is.
The four-year-old has a win in soft conditions, so we’re happy to have her.
Stake: 1 Unit
